the apology meme

Remember that terrible shit you did? Time to make it right. Ish.

Top Level with the start of your apology(ies). Public or private. In person or over txt.

Well That Was Awkward ↦ Maybe you’re nervous. Awe struck. Tongue tied. Just a little socially awkward. Whatever. This is going to be bumpy.
Total Catastrophe ↦ You fucked up so hard with this one there might not be any coming back from it.
Not Again ↦ You know this wasn’t the first time. This is kind of your MO.
Sorry Not Sorry ↦ Maybe you really aren’t to blame. Maybe you’re too prideful. Either way, this only debatably qualifies as an apology at all.
Wildcard ↦ You know what you did.

Comment to see where their sorry song goes. Maybe it’s an apology you didn’t know you had coming, maybe it’s long overdue, completely unnecessary or anything else. Whether or not you’re feeling forgiving is up to you of course.

I'm sorry it took me so goddamn long. You suffered so much more than you ever should've had to.

[chardismastic]

[ Ignore Rafe, he's just chilling off to one side. No popcorn in hand, unfortunately, but it wouldn't be out of place in this moment. Slade doesn't owe him much in this way but still doesn't negate the fact that— ]

Oh. This is going to be good.

[ikonsuit]

I've got to thank you, Rafe.

You've done a lot for me. Kept an eye on my kids. Made sure Quinn was straight when I couldn't.

You're good. Charitable. Kind.

I'm only sorry that I can't be more like you.

[chardismastic]

...

[ Okay, this is bullshit. Why must you ruin his fun. ]

Christ, are you back at this again? Did our last conversation about this kind of crap already slip your mind? Because I'm ready with a reminder any time.

...okay, so I'm sorry for extorting a green card marriage out of a toddler. That...that actually was crossing a line. Or, y'know...several.

[ikonsuit]

[ He's good at that. ]

You wanted an apology:

Sorry I can't be the man that you are. The kind of man who sees what need to be done and does it. The good guy. That's you. That'll always be you. And I'm sorry for that, too. Goodness is a burden. I can't carry that, so it's up to people like you to do it for me.

[tellessultan]

I'm sorry it was me.

If only one of us was gonna make it, it should've been Grant.

you really chose violence

[ikonsuit]

Joseph.

What the hell are you talking about?

[chardismastic]

Fucking— I didn't do shit, and even if I had I sure as hell wouldn't have done it for you. My decisions are based on what's practical for me in the long run, all right, and nothing else.

[ Thanks for being the worst person in the world again, then! He guesses! ]

Granted, one part of that is true — you aren't on my level. [ Kanye shrug. ] Few enough are.

I will always choose violence

[tellessultan]

You know exactly what I'm talking about. Don't pretend like losing Grant didn't ruin your life - ruin all our lives.

[ikonsuit]

And you think your death wouldn't ruin our lives just as much? You don't think Adeline would be beside herself? And Rose?

[ And me? He doesn't have to say that one. ]

[ikonsuit]

You don't have to do anything for me. You don't owe me that. You never did. And yet you did what was right, like it came naturally to you. Practicality isn't the inverse of moral fiber, if that's your excuse. For you, those two things just happen to co-exist. I envy you for that.

[ Did he get the apology he was looking for? ]

That's not something I mind.

The world needs us both.

We keep each other in business.

[saymy_name]

Oh my God, stop telling people I'm a toddler! ( The way she kinda-sorta pouts and stomps her boot isn't really doing her any favors. )

Tess Mercer | Smallville

[havenomercy]

I'm sorry I almost got the world taken over.

[tellessultan]

[....]


[Well. This sure is a telling silence.]

[creepyoldguy]

Gonna just ignore the apology, huh? Okay, I see how it is.

Is "preschooler" better? [Air quotes that are entirely unnecessary.]

[ikonsuit]

....

[ A silence in response, because does Slade really need to tell his child how much he's loved by everyone who meets him? ]

[tellessultan]

It's fine, Pop. I get it. I came to terms with it a long time ago.

[He smiles a little, a small and painful thing.]

If I were you I wouldn't have picked me either.

[ikonsuit]

I don't know what you're playing at, Jo.

Grant's dead.
You're alive.

What more is there? What's wishing going to do for anyone? You're smarter than that.

Look. [ Character's Name ]—

[tellessultan]

I'm not playing at anything, Pop, I'm just stating the obvious. Grant was a good brother and everything you wanted in a son, and I'm -

[He would laugh, if he could, but the choked, wet sound that comes out instead will have to suffice.]

I'm a gay junkie who gave his sister brain damage. You gotta admit, that's a pretty rotten deal.

Sorry, not sorry you're dead. Now stay put.

[creepyoldguy]

Look lady, I'm not a dog.
